2017 NFL Beat The Mods Competition

[Spickate]

We are excited to bring back for another season, the Beat The Mods contest . Starting Sunday, you will be able to play a fantasy-type game against the mods for prizes. Like the previous contests, there will be the opportunity for weekly prizes and a season ending prize. Here is how it works:

At the beginning of the week the Mods will chose a team. A passer, rusher and a receiver. Our goal is to create a three player team that will produce the best stat line in their primary category for that week.

Yards are the primary scoring marker and will be rewarded at one point per yard gained but touchdowns and interceptions will be counted as well. For each touchdown your player scores, 25 points will be added. For each interception your player throws, it's -10 points. Quarterbacks are the only position that will be eligible for negative points.

Just so the rules are clear, your passer gets passing points only, rusher gets rushing points only and receiver gets receiving points only. So even if Russel Wilson runs for 100 yards, you only get his passing stats if he is your passer. Same with touchdowns. If Andrew Luck throws for 2 and rushes for 1, you only get credit for the two he threw. Fumbles are not going to be penalized in this contest.

Each position is it's own match up. In order to win the weekly prize, you must go 3-0 against the mods' stat lines. I will be keeping track of overall records for the season and will be giving prizes based on that as well as highest amount of points scored.

As is the case in our survivor pool, YOU CAN'T USE A PLAYER MORE THAN ONCE IN A SEASON so be careful on who you use up and when. The mods have the same rules.

ONLY PLAYERS IN SUNDAY/MONDAY GAMES ARE ELIGIBLE. No Thursday players as contestants need the extra few days to work on choosing their teams. We will try to get our team up by Tuesday/Wednesday so you all know what you are up against.

Here is an example week:

"WEEK 19"

Mod Team

Passer: Drew Brees - 450 yards passing, 2 td, 0 int - 500 points (450 for the yards, 25 each for the touchdowns)
Rusher: Frank Gore - 110 yards rushing, 1 td - 135 points (110 for the yards, 25 for the touchdown)
Receiver: Corey Coleman -105 yards receiving, 0 td - 105 points (yards only)

Player "x" team

Passer: Matt Ryan - 352 yards, 3 td, 1 int - 417 points (352 for the yards, 75 for 3 touchdowns, -10 for the interception)
Rusher: Paul Perkins - 115 yards, 3 td - 190 points (115 for the yards, 75 for 3 touchdowns)
Receiver: Michael Crabtree - 154 yards, 2 td - 204 points (154 for the yards, 50 for 2 touchdowns)

So overall this week, player "x" went 2-1 against the mods. The mods won the passer stat line but player x scored more points in the rusher and receiver category.

This should be pretty fun. We will get our picks in early enough in the week for everyone to combat them with their 3 man teams. If there is any confusion, please let me know and I will do my best to clear it up.

Can't wait to see how this season unfolds.

tl;dr... It's 3 on 3 fantasy NFL vs the mods. Can only use players once. Good Luck.
